It was learned that 6 foreign and 1 local player in Karşıyaka Basketball sent a warning to the club due to non-payment. Players who cannot receive their regular salaries will have the right to be released if payment is not made within 5 business days after the warning.
Great loyalty from Karşıyaka to Ahmet Sarıkaya
While the failure to make November payments increased unrest within the club, many players expressed their desire to leave. The club experienced a similar problem in October, but the crisis was resolved for a short time by finding resources.
Is there any penalty from FIBA?
Player salaries are not the only problem awaiting Karşıyaka Basketball. The Izmir team must pay 90 thousand dollars (approximately 2.5 million TL) for this month’s installment of the payments structured with FIBA due to their debts to former players. It is stated that FIBA may impose heavy sanctions if payment is not made.
Financial impasse: 21 million TL is required
Karşıyaka Basketball urgently needs a resource of 21 million TL. If this amount required for both player payments and FIBA debts cannot be found, the club may enter one of the most difficult processes in its history.
The president and the administration took action
Due to the crisis, the green-red administration started to search for resources. The club management aims to overcome this financial impasse with the support of fans and sponsors.
